Well, since you multi-quoted me after I deleted my rant because I didn't want to get into it I guess I'm obligated to respond now.
I got the general impression that you were showing off and boasting, this was reinforced in my mind by the fuck yeah picture. Apologies if I misread that.
I was showing off the fact that I was able to take a bad situation and benefit from it, that's it. Why is that bad? And why did this make you so butt-hurt that you just
had to retort with some smartass comment?
It's not difficult to know what parts are good and how to put them together. It is possible to build a very good desktop for $1000. Not so much a laptop, I'll give you that, but in my personal opinion the idea of a dedicated gaming laptop is kind of silly.
Yeah well, that's like your opinion man. And I think it's pretty silly as well.
A good rig is going to cost at least $2000 no matter how you build it. That's assuming you have to buy all of the components, not just the tower itself. So, I spent an extra $1000 on top of that for something that was pre-built, compact, portable, nearly as powerful, and that is under warranty such that I will never actually have to touch it myself, and that is also completely refundable. Show me a custom desktop you can say the same for all of that.
No fuss no muss breh.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Alienware uses the same exact components (aside from their custom cases) that are commercially available for anyone to buy and assemble their own builds with. The difference is they charge a ridiculous amount more.
Refer to above.
All of those people sound like they have victim complexes and are full of shit. I've dealt with Alienware for years and I know plenty of actual people who have also dealt with them for years and have nothing bad to say about them. I've never spoken to anyone from "India." It's never taken me "days to contact support." None of that shit. I'll give you all the direct numbers to tech support and customer service right now if you want them to prove my point.
Of course some people are just never going to be satisfied. I mean look at my situation. I haven't even had my computer a month buy yet I'm dealing with a hard drive failure. Fortunately I understand that stuff like this happens and it isn't necessarily Alienware's fault, unlike those yahoos on that site you referenced. But guess how I handled the situation? I called them immediately, I spoke with a representative immediately, we diagnosed the problem in less than an hour, I was given two options of having a technician sent out to replace the hard drives or to refund my order and/or order a new computer.
Is it annoying my computer is dead? Yes, very. Is it Alienware's fault? Unfortuantely for them they're fully responsible because this is their product. Did they assist me and make it right immediately? Yeap. Am I satisfied regardless of the situation? You bet.
I guess I was right, you are trying to be a cocky braggart.
Only because you were being an annoying cunt. <3
A laptop will never be as powerful as a desktop. Good luck overclocking to anything significant.
An extra 100 mhz in processing speed is nothing. 16GB of memory is overkill when you never even would have needed to fully use the 8 you had originally. Two gpu's in SLI is nice but it'll be limited by your processor which will probably experience bottlenecking since it's only running at 3.5ghz.
Ok, so 3-4 years down the road I buy a new processor and viola, I'm back in business with plenty of power elsewhere. Damn, that was easy.
Anyway, I admit arguing over this is petty. Regardless of everything else I hope you enjoy your computer. I'm just bitter towards Alienware and other sites that offer similar products like iBuyPower and such.
Thanks.
